more information on each mode.

4. Tether Mode

Uses for Tether Mode

Tether Mode is convenient if you’re the type of person who often leaves things behind. Forgot

your phone on the counter when leaving for work or forgot your keys in a restaurant? Once out

of range, your devices will emit an audio alert as a reminder to go back and get your forgotten

item. Additionally, Tether Mode can provide a security alarm. If someone were to take your

phone orTouchFind out of range without you noticing, your devices would emit audio alerts. This

notifies you as well as causes the stolen item to emit an alarm.

Tether Mode Alerts

A. How it Works

Tether Mode creates an invisible link between your mobile device and your TouchFind. Both

items are “in range” when within approximately 120 feet of each other. If either item becomes

“out of range”, the invisible link is broken, which causes both your mobile device and TouchFind

to emit an audio alert.

A. How it Works

Once you hear the audio alert, the mobile device and TouchFind must be brought back in range

of each other for the alert to TouchFind.

B. Alarm Toggles

Tether Mode lets you control whether your TouchFind, your mobile device, or both will emit an

audio alarm when they are out of range.

C. Proximity Meter

This meter shows you how close you are to your TouchFind when you are in range. If all five

dots are green, you are right beside your Spot. If your Spot is out of range, the proximity meter

will disappear.

D. Camera

Your TouchFind also allows you to remotely control the shutter of your phone’s camera. Set up

a great shot from a distance or a creative angle and don’t worry about reaching for the shutter

button on your phone.

without your most important items.

A. Finding Your TouchFind

If you have misplaced your Spot, and the item it is attached to, simply open the Spot app on

your mobile device and tap FIND. The TouchFind will emit an audio alert allowing you to easily

further from the TouchFind.

simply press and hold the TouchFind button for 2-3 seconds. Your mobile device will emit a loud

audio alert, making it simple to find.
